I will talk about my favorite team the Buc's. While they had a dismal 3-13 season last they have a few positives going for them as well. Josh Freeman and Sammie Stroughter look like they can become excellent players. Many people thought that the Buc's reached for Freeman last year but he proved to be a solid pick. Stroughter, a 7th rounder, was a great value pick. This off-season they let Antonio Bryant leave via free-agency to the Bengals which was an interesting move. He had an injury plagued 2009 but was just one year removed from an 83 reception, 7 TD, 1200 yard season. He is just 29 so I really don't understand the move from a competitive standpoint but it makes sense from a financial point of view. This leaves them very weak at receiver aside from Stroughter and a widely inconsistent Reggie Brown which they traded for. The other players that left were either reserve's or on the decline. I wish the Buc's would have pursued Julius Peppers since they really haven't had much of a pass rush since Warren Sapp and Simeon Rice. With the third pick overall, and since it looks like the Rams are taking a quarterback at number one either Suh or McCoy should be available. This would be a great fit for the Buc's. They also have three other picks in the top 70 and should look to add a defensive end and also a cornerback to eventually replace an aging Ronde Barber. The other key move that they need make is the re-signing of Barrett Rudd. He brings a lot of heart to that defense and without him I think they would suffer a serious lack of leadership. Hopefully their spendthrift free agency helps the Buc's save money and that they can replenish their team via the draft.
